Rabbit Field is an infestation of inflatable rabbit-like forms, filling their display space and inviting tactile interaction. They cover much of the floor, and any other available surfaces, growing in number each night over the length of the conference. Each rabbit is self inflating using a simple computer fan, and can sense its internal pressure state by monitoring its fan speed. If a rabbit is squeezed, and partially deflated, the rabbits around it respond, as if out of empathy, deflating themselves. In this way, a wave of deflation ripples out from the squeezed centre. Enjoy, you rabbit-obsessed freaks.

Sorry, the photographs are clearly a photoshop job. All the bunnies are exactly the same, same shadows, same angles...

But it's a fun idea.

I thought it said "Rabbit Felid." Huh.

Specklet, I think this site is supposed to be a proposal to launch the exhibit. That said, if it DOES get approval for exhibition in Cambridge, I'm SO there to squeeze the diddle bunnies.

I think it looks more like Rabbit Corridor. Or Rabbit Entrance Lobby.

Neat idea though.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these ...

well i love it and i hope whoever goes takes pictures
we need a well orchestrated means of bunny attack
this whole diapered zombie business is never gonna hop and despite my amusement at felid, the senseless cat torture should end or at least let the cats dress themselves.
go on, squeeze! it's really cool for cats
